Reply to comment by xap31 in TIL Stan Lee made the X-Men mutants because he didn't want to come up with a reason for their super powers, instead they were just born with them. Additionally the 1963 comic was initially a flop until the 1975 reboot by Len Wein and Dave Cockrum. by jamescookenotthatone

Idk why people are downvoting this, the inspiration is obvious.

As is the idea being stripped of all meaningful societal commentary after a decent start in favor of just basic shounen action.
